TGIF dudes. What's on your schedule this weekend? I'll be supporting Isaac as he continues to jackhammer tiles off concrete in the dusty Chinatown basement that will soon house his very own art gallery. It's an intense but pretty special time, and I've been using all the epsom salt baths and bourbon in my arsenal to help ease the pain! It also feels so good to have a base once again in our beloved old neighborhood. Honking Grandma's, lackadaisical trash collections and dubious odours aside, it will always feel like home and I hadn't realised how much I had missed it. Have the best weekend ever, friends. See below for my best of the net this week.

I'm obsessed with this super inexpensive 100 per cent organic face oil from beloved British brand Boots (based in my hometown-both of my parents worked for them). Now available in Duane Reade, New Yorkers. .

I'm Alexandra King-Lyles, a journalist and writer living on a tree-lined street in Park Slope, Brooklyn with my husband Isaac and two black cats. I moved to New York from London in 2009, thinking I would only stay for nine months. Seven years later, I'm still here. On The Street Where I Live, you'll find real talk about relationships, careers, interiors, books and fashion as well as snapshots and personal stories from a blissfully imperfect life. Welcome, I'm so glad you're here.
